All,

As some of you might already know we are initiating the ROS-Industrial Consortium.  The ROS-Industrial Consortium will provide commercial backing for the further development of ROS software that meets the needs of the industrial automation and robotics market.  We’ve gotten all the paperwork in place and are now in a position to officially sign up new members.  Our first meeting will take place sometime after Jan 1, 2013. 

For those interested in more information, please don’t hesitate to ask or see our official announcement: http://www.swri.org/9what/releases/2012/ros-industrial.htm

For a quick video overview of the Consortium: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQD0hV3WH3c

Please feel free to send this on to anybody who might be interested in joining the Consortium,

Thanks,
